Perfect location, helpful staff, very clean. Basic breakfast included was tasty, though a bit limited. Pleasant terrace adjacent to dining area for breakfast or relaxation. Bed a bit firm for my tastes, but overall would not hesitate to stay again and definitely recommend Fife & Drum.

The Fife and Drum is a charming inn right in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg. It’s a little old and creaky, but that’s part of the rustic experience. My wife and I would definitely stay here again.

I've been to Williamsburg several times and The Fife & Drum is my favorite place to stay. The location is perfect to explore Colonial Williamsburg and the campus of W&M. The owners and staff make you feel so welcome and at home. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, comfortable and have all the amenities you need for your stay. I'm already planning my next stay!

Proximity to the colonial area of Williamsburg is a big plus for this Inn. But also to the lovely restaurants of Dog St. and Merchant Square. We had excellent lodgings in a lovely relaxed environment on the second floor of one of the retail bulidings on the corner. If you cannot climb stairs, this Inn is not for you, but otherwise, I believe anyone would enjoy the coffee area, good beds, and quaint surroundings and colonial themed furnishings of the rooms and the breakfast/lobby area.

I have stayed at this property several times, and I will continue to stay here whenever I am in Williamsburg. The rooms are neat, clean, and comfortable. The rooftop patio area is divine. You can't beat the location for walkability to the historic area and Market Square shops. The continental breakfast is ample, but if you want a full breakfast there is a divine coffee shop next door. My only suggestion is that the TV sets should be replaced with ones that have larger screens, but who comes to Williamsburg to watch tv?

I expected much more for the price, almost $400 for 3 adults it was shabby, tired, and there was no real breakfast. It was not dirty but impossible/inadequate for 3 adults. Uncomfortable. Inn keeper was kind.

The photo of the property on their website is misleading, it shows a corner building which leads you to think the entire building is the Inn. After finally locating the Inn which is only identifiable via a small flag, you are faced with a steep staircase (17) steps to enter the Inn which is on the second floor of the building. We were an older couple and had to carry our luggage up and down the steep staircase (not mentioned in the website). What would a handicapped person do? False advertising at its worse.Also, housekeeping service was only available if you requested it,fortunately we had otherwise we would have to make our own bed and replace towels on our own.What a ripoff.Also the room and tv were miniscule, the tv was about a 10 inch screen, shall I go on?

Fife & Drum is in a great location. We were able to walk to the historic Williamsburg area, and many restaurants in under 5 minutes. The innkeeper, Mr. Scruggs, is very helpful with info about ticketing, in addition to baggage. We had a very pleasant stay.

We stay in Williamsburg several times throughout the year. So glad to have found this gem! Such a charming Inn located in the heart of Historic Williamsburg. One mile walk from Merchant’s Square. Great cafe/coffee shop located adjacent to the Inn. We enjoyed a scenic morning walk in historic Williamsburg just a step outside of the Inn! Definitely planning many stays here again in the future.

For those desiring an amalgam of history and contemporary conviences, The Fife and Drum is an ideal setting with its location in Merchants Square next door to to Colonial Williamsburg. There is nothing mass produced here; rather the beautifully furnished rooms have detailed one-of-a-kind features, such as a telelvision ensconced in a clapboard house and original art. A fireplace warms the breakfast room that also holds reading material and wooden games, whilst a few steps will lead you up to the peaceful patio that overlooks the pedestrian street adjacent to shops and the historical site. The owners are replete with local knowledge.No car was needed; everything one could wish for was in easy walking distance.

Centrally located, the Inn allowed me to walk historic thoroughfares after a quick coffee, and to pop out for steamed mussels and a glass of wine after a late afternoon nap. I spent quiet, restful evenings and enjoyed chatting with Billy, the owner, over breakfast. It turns out he owned a gas station transformed into an oysters and tacos bistro where I had a superb lunch. Billy pointed me to a wine store offering good bottles at $10. I left rested, refreshed, and ready to return.

The Fife and Drum is the perfect little getaway place in Colonial Williamsburg that was in the middle of everything. We walked to almost every destination we were going to, the food choices right down the street were great and the caretakers are gracious and friendly. The rooms had cute Colonial touches from the lantern in the closet (if needed) to the old style waste cans, it has charm all throughout the inn.

Great stay. Billy was a great host. Very informative...clean B&B with great proximity to downtown historic district. Comfortable, quiet- easy check in and plenty of refreshments and goodies especially when arriving later in the day after a long ride. He even saved me 49 minutes off a trip as we continued south the next day and took the James River ferry! Thank you! Highly recommended

Wonderful place. My son & I went as we were going on a history tour of Jamestown & Yorktown. Very well located and my son particularly enjoyed the free hot chocolate. Rooms were nice and clean. Son would've wished for a computer desk for his laptop but I used the common room. Technically the parking is not on-site but it's just across the street

This was a great find for us in Williamsburg, and if you want to be in a very convenient location hosted by really friendly and service-oriented owners this is definitely the place. Billy and Sharon S. were not only wonderful hosts but attended to our every need. The room was great with a 17th century theme but appointed with all the niceties one would want. The owners are locals who pride themselves in continuing the great hospitality that Williamsburg has provided since it was founded. Not only are they well-versed but know the history and legacy of all the local history. If you are coming to look at the College of W&M for possible attendance there, look no further than this Inn for your travel plans. We highly recommend the Fife and Drum and when you travel to Williamsburg, do yourself a favor and get the treat of staying in a setting that continues the great hospitality afforded in this wonderful City.
